For the last couple years, RWU Law students have had the unique opportunity to learn “The Lessons of Litigation", a course designed and taught by one of the top federal judges, the Hon. Bruce Selya, from the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. (Judge Selya also serves on the RWU Law Board of Directors.) Today’s ProJo adds another important responsibility to the judge’s work: he has been named Chief Judge of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review by Chief Justice John Roberts. The Court handles government requests for wiretaps and other electronic surveillance of suspected terrorists. Click here to read the story from today's ProJo.
